Fourth of July Hamburgers!

Here are the cute hamburger cupcakes Sarah and I made for the Fourth of July picnic.
They turned out so cute and really tasty! I won the "Most Original" prize and a cupcake stand.





Fun in the pool! Max is a little fish! We swam and swam until our toes and fingers were pruny!

Happy Father's Day!

This is what Evan's Father's Day looked like!

He had his stake presidency meeting and we had home teachers come and we also went home teaching, but we did get to have a little celebration with presents and ice cream. Evan has been a great dad and we can always look to him as an example of a good, righteous, wise father and priesthood bearer. We love you, Evan!

(Look at that cute shirt and tie gift bag idea I got online. The caption reads "Have a TIE-rrific Father's Day!" on the pocket.)

(btw, Evan loved the BYU plate and cute letter-in-a-frame and the Seinfeld game. He's studying up for a tournament this weekend!)

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

One time when Max was visiting us here in Tyler, he was chowing down on some Cheetos. All of a sudden and without any warning, he started crying uncontrollably and I asked, "What happened?" Through his tears and as he held up a Cheeto-stained finger, Max exclaimed, "I ate my finger!"


(I just came across this as I was going through some seminary records where I asked the parents of the kids for some cute and funny things that their kids did as little children. Luckily, I had recorded this little incident with Max which reaffirms the charge to "write it down" and "keep a journal." I'm so glad I wrote that down. I've been trying to remember what happened there for the longest time, and now I know!)

Ohh...The Wonder of a Child

Here's darling little Cooper--just one year old!
(Don't you love the comfort just two little fingers can provide?)



And I love watching Max (3 years old) discover the world....





What precious grandchildren we have!

Biggest Yard Sale in America

Here is an interesting article on a yardsale that stretches from Ohio to Alabama on a single road!
It reminds me of that stretch of road we drove on on the way home from Nauvoo and Branson--yard sales along the whole way for miles! Think of all the treasures (and all the junk!)
